Polygon:

Currently, I am an Editorial Intern at Vox Media’s Polygon, where I write video game and entertainment news and analyses. I cover daily news hits and video game explainers, as well  longer pieces and essays about media and online spaces. Sometimes they’re serious, sometimes they’re funny, but they always aim to go deeper.

All articles can be found here.
